Re: My version of the scud conspiracy

[Kent Lufkin]

A college girlfriend used dried brine shrimp to feed the fish in her 
aquarium. An MS candidate in marine biology, she told me how brine 
shrimp eggs (larvae?) could live for long periods out of water in a 
sort of suspended animation, resuming their interrupted life cycle 
when reimmersed.

I wonder if that's also true for scuds?

If so, I like the seasonal ponds theory best (and also because I have 
a very hard time imagining WDFW planting scuds along with fish ;-).

1)It is my understanding that the construction of the O'Sullivan Dam 
created Potholes Resovoir.  The presence of Potholes affected the 
water table resulting in the many lakes in the basin that are now 
refered to as "Seep Lakes".
2)I'm guessing that seasonal ponds existed in may places that are 
now seep lakes and that in those ponds lived scuds who bred during 
the wet season and whose eggs somehow survived during the dry season.
3)The duck theory also seems plausible to me.
